PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
Promises are as sacred as oaths.

Promises are as sacred as oaths.
 Life is a short day, but it is working day.
 Lack of desire is the greatest riches. [Seneca.
 To what gulfs single deviation from the track of human duties leads.
 With the generality of men policy is much more powerful than principle.
 Life is quarry, out of which we are to mould and chisel and complete a character.
 eo metaphysician ever felt the de- fcicncy of language so much as tho grateful.
 When hope is disappointed aud blasted, submission should be virtue, not Q necessity. .
 It is better to have thorns in the flesh with grace to endure then, than to have no thorns and no grace.
 He who does base thing in zeal for his friend, burns the golden thread that ties their hearts together.
 Putty, sincerity, obedience and self surrender-these are the marble steps that lead to the spiritual temple. The real difference between men is energy. A strong will, settled pur- pose and invinciDle determination car accomplish almost anything; and on thi' lies the distinction between the great men and the little men.

Native AlaSkans' FOndness for Music.

The native seal catchers of Alaska are evidently fond of music. From the re- motest western settlements we learn that American musical instruments and American airs are popular. With tunes which they have learned from our SOL di>rs and sailors, the people mingle old Russian songs and ballards which they still remember.
 The great feminine solacc in a well-to. do native hut is recourse to conccrtina or accordion, as the case may be. These instruments are especially adapted to the people. Their plaintivc, slow measure, when fingered in response to native tunes and old Slovenian ballads, always rise upon the ear in every Alcutian hamlet from carly morning until far into the night. The appreciation of good music is keen. Many of the women can easily pick up strains from our own operas, and repeat them correctly after listening a short while 10 the trader or his wife playing and singing. They are most pleased with sad, wailing tunes, such as "Lorcna," the "O.d Cabin Home" and the like.

Making Use of Human Bones.

A curious instance of how deeply old supersttions are still rooted in remote parts of the country is case which has just been brought before the magistrates of Marquct, in the department of Loiret, in France. A short time ago the grave digger of Fontenay- sur Loing sai'l to some workingmen with whom he was talking at Fcrrieres factory: Perhaps you think that dead mems bones are of no use, but you are mistaken. l have sold some to two women from Ferriercs." The police, hearing of this occurrence, made inquiries, and the following facts were revealed: Two women from Fer ricres went to Fontenay -sur-Loing ani asked the gravediggcr for some human bones. At frs. he refused, but was soon persuaded to yield by an ample bribe.
 The women, who passed in the district for sorceresses, returned home, hiding the bones for short time, and then burning them and carefully gathering up the cinders, their purpose being to prepare a love draught for a young and pretty country lass, who had ordered it to reconquer the heart of lover who had turned her off. .-[CAicago Herald.

Dishes in Restaurants.

"One source of expense to rcstau- rant which customers usually fail to take into account in estimating our profits, is the breakage of dishes," said the man. ager of Buffalo cafe the other evening. ''Every time hear the crash of breaking glass know the profit on one mans meal is gone. Not ono person in ten ever offers to make good the loss caused by his carelessness, and as an attempt to collect from tho nine different ones would turn away trade, we must decline the tenth mans money also, on the principle of impartia!ity. Accordingly all the breakage caused by gu sts is total loss. Then, again, to stand we'll in the estima- tion of the public, vixen dishes become badly nicked they must be withdrawn from table use. Our class of cust omcrs are accustomed to whole dishes at home and demand as good at restaurant. \ Rapid handling, careless washing and constant use, make the period of useful. ness of light, thin dishes, such as arc most popular, painfully short to tho financial man of restaurant. Another source of loss is the disappearance ol dishes sent out with orders.

Alas :!

AAIS
 One of the easiest habits to form is the habit of using some one word or phrase so often that it becomes a man. nerism. Whipple once called Emerson's attention to his frequent use of the word "grim," and so great was Emerson's aversion to mannerisms that he at once struck the word entic.y from his vocab- ulary.
 One of the most distinguished bishops in the Methodist Episcopal church was, in his youth, smitten with a fondness for the word "alas," which he used with great effect. On one occasion he was describing the death of the Christian man, and thus expressed himself: 'Sec him as he lies upon dying bed. His friends surround him; his wife and children are there to receive his bless ing. At last the farewells are spoken, he breathes no moro. Now, could we part tho veil, we should see convoy of angels sent direct from the heavenly courts to bear his ransomed soul home. He rises higher and still higher, until at last the music of heaven resounds in his ears. He receives an abundant cntrancs into the everlasting king lom, and there, alas! let us leave him." At the close of tho sermon brother said to him "Brothcr -, I never supposed be- fore that it was mournful thing for a Christian to be safe in heavcn; but as you said, Alas! let us leave him there you must think it is."

IIu ,band and Llird.

Two hundred years ago, each High land chief considered himself as an in l. dependent sovereign. If he had dis putc with anotGcr chieftain, who obsti- natcly refused to yield, he levied war, thus referring the matter to the last re sort of kings.
 Each chief of clan hal tho power Of "pit and gallows," and could hang a refractory clansman, without hindrance from the rest of the clan. On the con trary, they would all assist in exe- cutting their chiefs decree. Ordinarily, but not always, they accepted tho fate decreed for them by the laird without . murmur.
 Afhssbsnd, having been condemned to death by his laird, threatened re- sistance, instead of going quietly to tho exccutioner's house and giving himself up. His wife, amazed at her "guds mans" conduct, rcmonstrated with him oa his obstinacy.
 'DougalI, my man," said she, in her most apprchensivc tone, 'jast gang awa quietly and be hangit, and no anger the laird !"-[ Youths Companion.

British Columbian Mythology.

Dr. Franz Boas, who visited the h. dian tribes of British Columbia in the
 autumn of 1886, has presented in pre- liminary report some of the results of his journey. The large wooden huts of these tribes, their canoes, their fishing gear and hunting methods have often been described, but Dr. Boas points out that their traditions, their religious ideas and social organization are not equally we'll known. The principal fig ure in the mythology of several of them is a raven. who created all things, not
 for the benefit of mankind, but in order to "revenge himself" Cannibalism is praciced by some tribes iu connection with the winter dances; and there is 6 Kwakiutl tradition to the effect that one of their ancestors descended from heaven, wearing ring of red cedar bark and taught the people the cannibal ceremonies. These ceremonies have been adopted only in part by the Q'moks, who content themselves with eating "ar
 tificiul' bodies which they prepare by Sewing dried halibut to human skeleton" Among the Tsimpshian, the T.ingit and the Haida, children belong to the mothers gems; among the Kwak
 iutl and Selfish tribes, they belong to the ccns of the father. In some tribes there are as many as from fifteen to twenty centcs. Members of the same gems ar' not allowed to inter- marry. Nature.

Mimicry in Nature.

Beetles often initiate hornets, since the latter are insects to which birds in search of animal food prefer to give very wide berth.
 A species of tis initiates the white ant, and, mixing with the family like one of it's own members, quietly devours fat termite, from time to time.
 The bunble-bee flies, which arc inof- fensive little creatures, initiating the wild bee, fit about and buzz angrily in the sunlight, quite after the fashion of the insect they copy, and gain an unde- served reputation for fierccness.
 Flies often dwell as unbidden guests in the nests and hives of wild honey bees. They are belted and bearded in the self-samo pattern as their uncon- scious hosts, but their larv@ pay for the hospitality they steal by devouring the young grubs of the hive.
 There is in Bornco sand wasp which is addicted to the habit of devouring crickcts, but there is also species Of cricket which exactly reproduces tho ap- pearancc ofjts enemy, so that it can even associate with it undiscovered. Certain beetles have become modified 10 resemble wasps, even to tho extent of losing their solid waists for others of ultra fashionable slenderness, and others, which mimic bees. have acquired useless little tufts of hair on their shanks, to represent the pollen-gathering apparatus of the true bees.
 A curious case of imitation is that of two species of Malayan orioles, which are almost exact counterparts of two va. reties of honey suckers. Tho latter are | such fierce birds as to be avoided by all their feathercd neighbors, and thus the orioles find their own deceptive plumage a great protection.
 The mimicry of stinging insects i' sometimes performed by innocent little creatures quite destitute of any sucl means of defense. A common insect, known In England as the devils coach horse, throws up it's tail in the aggres. sive fashion of a scorpion, when irri tated, but it has no hint of sting. IT its war-like attitude it is exceedingly alarming, not only to boys and girls, bu to chickens and birds.

The Monkeys Fatal Curiosity.

A gentleman who returned recently from Aspinwall tells the following curi- ous story of the manner in which tho natives of the interior of the 1sthmus of Panama capture monkeys:
 'Almost all the pet monkeys in this country" said he, "como from Gorgona, small village half way on the limo of the Panama railroad. The inhabitants arc mostly native negroes for no white man could live in the village month unless he took quinine constantly. The surrounding country is swampy and covered with dense mass of luxuriant vegetation. nightf,ll thick mias- ma rises from the ground and hangs over the forests like cloud. This place is the monkeys paradise. They travel through the forests in troops, going wherever tho king monkey leads. When the natives have been appriscd of the presence of troop, they go about warily to capture them. Their plan is simple one. A hole is cut in the shell of cocoanut just large enough to admit monkeys unclosed paw. The cocolnut is scoopcd out and lump of sugar placed in the hollow. A string is then attached to this novel trap and the negroes conceal themselves until the monkeys pass by. Curiosity is one of the chief chara ctcristics of these little creatures, and when they espy the COCOA nut lying upon the ground they come down carefully. The. lump of sugar does not long escape their notice, and one of them thrusts paw through the aperture to grab it. With the lump of sugar in his hand he fads it impossible to withdraw it, nor will his greedy nature allow him to abandon his prize. The neg, oes have no difficulty in draw ing him nearer and nearer to their am- bush, the whole troops scampering mad ly about him, chatterng and gesticulat- iug as only monkeys can. When they have arrived within easy reach large net is thrown out and they are made prisoners. Twenty or thirty are often captured at one haul. The natives sell them to the employees of the Panama railroad, who in turn dispose of them in the American market" es&'

Killed by a Picture. 'ifS

There is a famous modern picturS at Moscow of John the Terrible, after he has murdered his son in fit of rage, and suddenly discovers the crimo he has committed. The expression in his eye is that of tho madman, with curious gleam of horror and consciousness strik- ing him, after his son has sunk at his feet with the blood streaming from his wounded temple. It is intensely realistic, and report asserts that on one occasion lady was 80 much affected by the sight of it that she fell down dead on the spot. According to this tale, the picture was subsequently, removed to an inner room and ladies not admitted in the absence of a medical attendant.
